Zechariah 2

1 i lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand 2 then said i, whither goest thou? and he said unto me, to measure jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof 3 and, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 4 and said unto him, run, speak to this young man, saying, jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein 5 for i, saith the lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her 6 ho, ho, come forth , and flee from the land of the north, saith the lord for i have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the lord 7 deliver thyself, o zion, that dwellest with the daughter of babylon 8 for thus saith the lord of hosts; after the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye 9 for, behold, i will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants and ye shall know that the lord of hosts hath sent me 10 sing and rejoice, o daughter of zion for, lo, i come, and i will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the lord 11 and many nations shall be joined to the lord in that day, and shall be my people and i will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee 12 and the lord shall inherit judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose jerusalem again 13 be silent, o all flesh, before the lord for he is raised up out of his holy habitation
